The Tin Man primed for latest Sprint Cup mission
Fanshawe ace will bid to reclaim Group One prize at Haydock.
James Fanshawe reports The Tin Man to be in good order ahead of trying to reclaim his crown in the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday.Hay
The Equiano gelding will bid to secure his first victory since landing the six-furlong Group One prize in 2018, having finished runner-up 12 months ago. The Tin Man showed he still retains plenty of enthusiasm at the age of eight when taking a step forward from his return in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes to chase home Tabdeed in the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury.
What a season @oismurphy is having! 🔥🔥🔥

Fanshawe said: “Touch wood, The Tin Man seems very well. He is bouncing and is very fresh and he will have improved for the run at Newbury. “He is in good form and I’m looking forward to Haydock where I’m sure he will have plenty of younger horses snapping at his heels again. “We did think about going to the Maurice de Gheest, but that looked very tough and we just thought we would keep him fresh for Haydock.”
